The Golden Catch

An ex-CIA assassin who seeks redemption. A beautiful archaeologist. A treasure hoard on a remote Alaskan island. A Korean billionaire who unleashes his ruthless killers to get what he wants. Can a Bering Sea crab fisherman use survival skills from his past to save his friends and son?

The Golden Catch is set on Kiska Island, which is one of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. I was inspired to write about Kiska by a visit I made to a ghost town in the Aleutians.

Here is a picture of Kiska volcano. This is similar to Frank's view as he sails around the island.

This is the Nozima Maru shipwreck. Like the fictional Musashi Maru this is the kind of obstacle that Frank navigates around in his crab boat. Some wrecks like the Musashi are more dangerous because they are hidden just below the surface.
